of the Red Hat admin guide for IPA says this (its bi-directional).....so that
section needs updating?

In section 8.4.5 it talks about making an agreement one way...which is mostly
what I want, so everything incl password changes from AD to IPA. except I
want account disabled / enabled to flow both ways.
So if I do a
ldapmodify -x -D "cn=directory manager" -w password -p 389 -h
ipaserver.example.com
dn: cn=ipa-winsync,cn=plugins,cn=config
changetype: modify
add: oneWaySync
oneWaySync: fromWindows
Does this effect bi-directional disabling? I assume it does.......
So then I have to do a,
ldapmodify -x -D "cn=directory manager" -w password -p 389 -h
ipaserver.example.com
dn: cn=ipa-winsync,cn=plugins,cn=config
changetype: modify
ipaWinSyncAcctDisable: both
is that syntax right?
Winsyc plugin used in IPA comes originally from DS. In the context of IPA it
can be only one way so changing this configuration is not something we expect
or would work in IPA. In the DS context you can have two way sync of users and
groups.
AFAIK (Rich please correct me) we do not replicate the enabled/disabled status
from IPA to AD.
Conceptually we think of the AD as authoritative source for the information.
Allowing user to be disabled by IPA admin and then replicate this status back
violates this model and would sound really dangerous for AD side. Are you sure
that even if that would have been allowed your AD admins would actually permit
you to do that?
Anyways so far it is one of the limitations of the current product. You can
definitely explain the use case in a bit more details and file an RFE. If the
use case is compelling we will consider it for the later release.
